<< Solved >> Z97-a fresh install mojave 10.14.3 stuck at End RandomSeed

[asheenlevrai]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup my 2nd Z97-a based rig now (the 2st one works now).
However, for some reason I'm stuck at the very beginning. When I select external from clover boot menu (booted from USB dongle, unibeast 9.1.0) I'm stuck at:
End RansdomSeed
++++++++
like many others apparently.

I checked other threads but apparently their issues are different from mine.

• I guess my BIOS settings are right, but let me know if I may have made a mistake somewhere that can cause this.
• I didn't touch the files on the USB installer dongle. AptioMemoryFix-64.efi is present in /E/C/drivers64UEFI

My memory modules are in A1 & B1 (same as on my other Z97-a based build).

Thoughts?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best,

I noticed my USB installer was problematic (random disconnections), So I created a new one out of a new USB dongle.

However, I get an error message when trying to boot from this one (missing operating system). And I noticed the new USB dongle doesn't have any EFI partition apparently (according to clover configurator), although Unibeast.app told me the USB installer creation procedure was successful.

EDIT:
My bad. It was probably MBR instead of GUID/GPT...
I think Unibeast should have a way to detect and warn users about this...

Issue is gone with new Unibeast dongle...
